A list of the top 100 all-time winningest prep football teams in Illinois has recently been compiled and Carmi-White County comes in tied with Harvard in 88th place. The list ranks teams by wins and ranks only teams with 350 or more wins. The list is actually larger than 100 teams, accounting for all 350-plus win teams.

The list was compiled by Ken Varney, site author of illinoishsglorydays.com, with the help of Illinois football historian, Tom Sikorski. The list was somewhat of a quest for Varney to put together, spending the past 19 month working on making it as accurate as possible.

Varney used the help from Sikorski as well as other historians, librarians and school administrators.

Varney hopes to re-release the list every summer to reflect the new numbers.

Other area schools of note on the list include Mount Carmel in 19th, Casey-Westfield in 20th, DuQuoin in 26th, Harrisburg in 31st, Benton in 58th, Flora in 69th, Johnston City in 71st, Lawrenceville in 105th, Mount Vernon in 114th and CZR in 116th.
